"Am I addressing the White Queen?"
"Well, yes, if you call that a-dressing," the Queen said. "It isn't MY notion of the thing, at all."
. . . "If your Majesty will only tell me the right way to begin, I'll do it as well as I can."
"But I don't want it done at all!" groaned the poor Queen. "I've been a-dressing myself for the last two hours."
It would have been all the better, as it seemed to Alice, if she had got some one else to dress her, she was so dreadfully untidy.
—Through the Looking Glass,
Lewis Carroll
